Toni Cade Bambara asked this question 40 years ago in The Salt Eaters. Right now, it is more relevant than ever for every / body. However, how do we get well when we have not named the things that have wounded and continue to wound us? What are the connections between being well and being free? How can Black Studies be a path that helps us acknowledge the struggle of birth AND untether us from the struggles that (will) kill us? Most importantly: When or if we get free, how do we stay free?

In 1969, a collective composed primarily of student-of-color student activists agreed to end what remains to this day the longest continuous student strike in the history of the United States. Enlivened, in a time of war and racial terror, by the idea that university resources could be repurposed toward the end of liberation, the strike’s culmination led to the official establishment of the first College of Ethnic Studies. In this talk, I return to the scene of the strike.
